    I’m always on the lookout for these, and even looking at all the listings on eBay last night, only 3 of the 2nd print showed up, with just one of them advertising it as such.  I know they reprinted the ASM 300 True Believer, but it’s differentiated by a gold color as opposed to red, and I think there are a bunch of those out there. I guess so many people ordered the initial NM98 TB them there was next to no need to reorder the 2nd print.

    Anyone know of any other True Believers 2nd printings?

    Alot of True Believers Deadpool books got 2nd prints and were all released on March 9, 2016.

    I know there’s gonna be a boatload of Detective Comic 1027 variants on the way but one in particular has me intrigued. There is one virgin variant with only a print run of 180 copies. Plus it’s a great cover imo. Wouldn’t that make it one of the rarer moderns? Maybe something to consider.

    If you read that, you'd see that more than 180 copies are printed.....

    Whether those "extras" actually get destroyed is all a marketing gimmick. Money makes people say/do stupid things; brings out the greed.

    ended $22.50.  Others have the book BIN for $18+, what gives?lol.  I have a few copies myself from pre-order so I guess I'll give a quick flip through one to see if there is anything special going on.

     

    Okay took a quick look through a copy.  Seems female on the cover who I guess we all assume is Padme, is not?  The book has flashback of Padme and Anakin on Geonosis going in to that gladiator pit with the beasts etc.  This female was one of her handmaidens/lookalikes I think?  If that is her on the cover and 1st app. in book could be the cause of spike as she looks to be moving forward in the story.  Might this be a Doctor Aphra type character?

    That is all I can garner at this point

    Didnt Sabe first appear in the Star Wars Episode 1 comics ?

    Optioned for development with Ryan Murphy (NIp Tuck, AHS, and the American Crime Story series that featured OJ in season 1 and the murder of Versace in season 2) for Netflix. So if it actually happens, good chance it’ll be quality.

    Thanks. Do you have a valid source for this info ?

    Nice on the sales! I’m probably gonna sell an A cover and a C, but I like the Frison too much to sell (right now at least). Note that the later issues have tiny print runs and they all have B variants. Fantastic cover art scattered all through this series.

    To any unfamiliar, this is the Frison... it’s just lovely:

    Gals/Guys, are we all expecting first full appearance of both Robin King and the Darkest Knight to sell hard after August 4 release of Legends of the Dark Knights #1 releases? That 1:25 will be a rare book low print run series so I expect the hype train to choooo choooooo

    Whats the print run ? You sound like a typical PnDer in the FB groups who has no idea what they are saying.

    I’m wondering why God of Thunder 6 isn’t seeing the growths Venom 3 is seeing... Comichron reports orders of 85k for Venom 3, and 50k for GOT 6. For me it GOT 6 has certainly been harder to find in NM+ shape. I guess it’s because there are still backstock boxes with GOT 6 that haven’t been reopened since it was taken off the new release wall, whereas Venom 3 was hot out the gate and less likely to end up in bargain bins? Is it the cover? The fact that it’s a Cates book? Or are people unaware of Thor God of Thunder 6, as far as the casual collector goes?

    God of Thunder 6 is like half the price of Venom 3, and not long ago it was more.

    Why would GOT 6 heat up ? Nothing special, no 1st appearances.

    I can't see there is any way to know unless Skybound/Image report it.  You cannot even estimate from the ~150 stores that had logos printed on the 15th anniversary store variants.  I have 7 shops reasonable driving distance from me (1 hour).  Only 1 had the 15th ann store variant logo book created.  But all 7 received Gold & Silver Negan lives.  Not sure if this is true but I heard they went out to all shops that ordered Issue 193.   I've got to believe 500+ worldwide.

    The Gold & Silver Negan Lives variants went to all stores with a Diamond account, regardless if they ordered #193 or not.

    Why Jackpot of all female characters? who let's be honest about.. no one really ever cared about.. I would think Spider-Woman, Hellcat, or even Firestar has a bigger "following" if that even exists

    Marc Guggenheim is writing the -script and he is also writing the -script for the Prophet movie.  He's not a good writer. His comic work is average at best, same goes for his Arrow writing.

    It's time to sell. Because there's no way these books stay hot for long.

    Yea bro, theres nothing on the Kickstarter page about the foil virgin having only 100 copies. I can order 200+ copies from the link provided above. It's a Print-On-Demand book.

    YOU GOT BURNED !!!!!!!!

    I'm specing hard on these low print 2020 books during this pandemic.. I can see them being $20 books 5 years from now

    You definitely do not know what you're talking about. Low print ??? HA

    Diamond already has these books in their warehouse for the past month. The copies that Lunar and UCS sent to shops are either from Diamond's warehouse or printed from the same location that the other copies came from.

    In either case, these books are NOT low printed. Now, next months books are a different story.....
